Boxee PC HDMI Audio "failed to initialize"

[mitchbart]

On several movies (including both versions of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") but not all. I receive an Audio "failed to initialize Please check Audio settings". I only receive this on some VUDU movies. All other Boxee applications do not seem to have any audio issues!

Thanks.

Hello,

Are you streaming this to a reciever or just listening to it on your PC ?

I have the same issue, although it happens with all VUDU content if my Boxee is set to us the HDMI. All other Boxee apps work perfectly with the HDMI output. I was able to get VUDU to play audio once through the HDMI, but only once. Since then, I get the same "failed initialize audio device" message.

Could you list your hardware specs for your pc or mac?

Same problem but obviously I'm using a Boxee Box. Dolby Digital Plus works fine in Netflix. Boxee connected via HDMI to Samsung UN40D6420. I'm not proud to say it happened in the latest Twilight: Breaking Dawn.

Ugh. Anyway, my wife rented it last night while I was working and we were gone today. Started what remained of our viewing time a little before 8pm and again no sound. Set the boxee's audio to 'Output All' or something. Regardless, DD+ was disabled, I reset the boxee and unplugged the HDMI until the boxee rebooted and sound worked through that. Movie timed out and I rented it again. Ugh. Will be contacting customer support in the morning to see about a refund for a movie that couldn't be heard.

Never had this problem before, and video quality was great with my massive 6Mb dsl.

Average,

That is odd, have you been able to regain the audio since the problem occurred?
